Hello, I am new to this page, and feel very fortunate to have found it. I'm just needing some support right now. I had my surgery on 03/02/16, and physically and more importantly, mentally, I am just not coping. My depression is just overwhelming (I am on antidepressants, and have increased the dosage) like a lot of people, I was a big comfort eater, and now not to be able to do that, messes with your head,big time!! I'm also very limited as to what I can actually stomach and keep down, I find myself constantly vomitting, pretty much anything new I try to introduce. Basically my diet consists of protein shakes, iceypoles, water, jelly and watered down soups. I'm not feeling satisfied, and I'm getting to the point of not even wanting to eat, because it's just too hard emotionally and physically. And to make things worse, I even gained weight this week. Is all this normal for at this stage of recovery? I'm really scared, and terrified my depression is going to get beyond control. Please can anyone give me any advise to help me cope with this?
